I figure it's been a year, maybe time to update.

I have been a crafty fucker. I should really load pics here. In no particular order, some recent projects have been. . .

Teriyaki Sauce, canned for preservation
Cranberry Sauce, canned for preservation
2 hand carved stamps of heraldry
a variety of candles in different styles
bread and butter style pickles
a HUGE cross stitch project that will take months of chipping away at. (I figure I'm about 5% complete so far)
awesome carved pumpkins
52 bottles of home brewed Mead
12 bars of hand made soap (cinnamon, clove, penny royal, black pepper)

a few more projects on the horizon. Since a lot of this is food it doesn't translate so well to pictures. Teriyaki sauce looks brown. The flavor? Jalapenos, garlic, pepper, pineapple, brown sugar, honey, ginger. Just outstanding.

The Cranberry sauce has lime, orange, ginger and clove. Amazing.
